- Dr. David Shoemaker is a clinical psychologist in private practice, specializing in Jungian and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. David is the Chancellor and Prolocutor of the Temple of the Silver Star, a Thelemic initiatory and educational organization. He is a long-standing member of O.T.O. and A.'.A.'., and has many years of experience training initiates in these traditions.
David's popular “Living Thelema” podcasts have appeared regularly since 2010, and his widely praised Living Thelema book was published in late 2013. His 2016 publication, The Winds of Wisdom, contains a full record of his scrying of the Thirty Enochian Aethyrs, as well as Llewellyn's Complete Book of Ceremonial Magick, co-edited with Lon Milo DuQuette. David has co-edited many volumes of the writings of Thelemic luminaries such as Phyllis Seckler, Karl Germer, and Jane Wolfe. In addition to his work in magick and psychology, David is a composer and musician.
In his latest book, The Way of the Will, Shoemaker explores how the spiritual discipline of Thelema, founded by Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), can be utilized to enhance your psychological and spiritual growth. The book grew out of the author's own teachings and experiences-podcast episodes, classes, and of course, many years of personal practice and supervision of other initiates. It is a compendium of useful tools and perspectives designed to serve as one of many useful guides in the magician's library.

2 of the best in the field alive today.
Truly the best interview of a Thelemite I’ve ever heard.
Great job Jason. Great questions.
this is the interview that lead to me rekindling my friendship with David and becoming his student in the A .'. A .'. - thank you Jason!
living thelema is brilliant
Resistance to waking up is my greatest hurdle! Knowing the need to do so, yet strangely revolted by the thought of finding myself in a new world, even though I desire it.
I've always hoped the two of you would cross paths! I've been following Dr Shoemaker's podcast for a few years now and his book Living Thelema was essential for me in demystifying the basics of Thelema so I could begin my own practice. It's all great stuff!
Great interview, both the questions and the answers!
I listen to this yesterday on Spotify. Great interview, I’ll listen again
Fantastic conversation ❤
Thank you for making this!
Really good to see the podcast as a video of you and the subject as talking heads- really makes it easier to watch for me personally!
Also- great chat all round with Dr Shoemaker :)
41:29 yes, absolutely recommend this approach.
I’m happy the podcast is on you tube now as well. ❤
Already giving this a relisten
Another great show

I think it’s on the Living Thelema TH-cam channel.
The entire playlist of Living Thelema videos is phenomenal.
1:35:00 Interesting! Who else did this?
1:54:03 Downloads - describes it well.
Don't reveal the secrets.. there's a really good analogy in zen about this, trying to enlighten another is like waving at the moon and distracting the person with the motion of your finger. Your description of the moon can never be what you will see when you look up at it.
If you reveal the secrets, the ones who know - through discipline and study, formal or otherwise - will be reminded of their path.
Those who don't would have probably looked for some silly shiny shit to jerk off over anyway. Let them jerk.
Wow, to me the star ruby's update over lbrp is localising the powers as the star we are, gods and spirits as our faculties. Instead of god's servant Michael you call on your own powers.
cool shirt 😎
"Who actually was Aleister Crowley?" - good question
Okay but which one of you would win in a game of badminton
Wild won
